I've found that \mathbb{1} works when using mathpazo:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{mathpazo}
\begin{document}
    $\mathbb{1}$
\end{document}

enter image description here

But \mathbb{0} doesn't work (doesn't display anything at all), and my searches haven't led me to any solutions so far. Is it possible to get a blackboard-bold 0? Or other numbers?

Have you tied \mathbb{0}? You will need to tell us which packages you are using, and give a MWE. – Pureferret Feb 12 '12 at 14:31
I was using mathpazo. And no, \mathbb{0} doesn't work. – jtbandes Feb 12 '12 at 14:38

the bbold font has the blackboard bold "0", although it is not shown in the "comprehensive symbols index" (texdoc comprehensive from your command line if you have tex live installed), table 213, "math alphabets". the other blackboard bold fonts shown there do not have the zero, although some of them have other digits.

you can try to run xelatex or lualatex with:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec,unicode-math}
\setmainfont{TeX Gyre Pagella}
\setmathfont{XITS Math}
\begin{document}
    $\mathbb{0}\mathbb{1}$
\end{document}

or with Asana Math instead of the STIX fonts:
